No one expected what Fermín López said after Dani Olmo's injury: 'I'm going to...'

Barça's victory over Atlético de Madrid has helped calm things down in the Catalan capital. The past few weeks had been very intense after the tough defeat against Chelsea, where players like Ronald Araújo were harshly criticized by the fans. However, the great match played by Flick's team last Tuesday has allowed the focus to return to strictly sporting matters.

Pedri returned to the starting line-up and delivered a truly outstanding performance. The Canary Islander was once again that footballer who controls the pace of the game, reads every play perfectly, and gives a unique stability to the midfield. The same happened with Gerard Martín, who surprisingly appeared as a center-back and performed at an outstanding level, showing why Flick fully trusts him.

However, most of the spotlight was on Dani Olmo. Barça's "20" started against Atleti and scored a high-quality goal that sparked the comeback at Camp Nou. Unfortunately for the Barça fans, he was injured precisely in that same play, leaving an image that set off all the alarms.

Dani Olmo will be sidelined until January 2026

As the club has reported through an official statement, Dani Olmo suffered a dislocation in his left shoulder. This injury will force him to stay away from the field for a month, which is a tough blow for Barça. Olmo's absence also comes at a critical moment in the schedule, with decisive fixtures in both LaLiga and the Champions League.

This scenario has set off all the red flags inside the Barça locker room. The team's other attacking midfielder, Fermín López, isn't available either. The Andalusian is dealing with muscle discomfort that has forced him to stop, further limiting Flick's options in the creative area.

Fermín López speaks out after Dani Olmo's injury

However, against all odds, Fermín López has sent a message of hope to Barça's fans. After Dani Olmo's injury was confirmed, the academy product spoke out: "I'm going to give everything to be ready for the match against Eintracht on December 9". His words have been a balm for fans who fear being left without natural attacking midfielders for several weeks.

With Dani Olmo sidelined until January, Fermín López's presence seems essential. His energy, his runs into the box, and his defensive commitment are essential aspects for the style Hansi Flick proposes. The clash against Eintracht will be decisive, so Barça hopes to be able to count on the "16".

We'll see if Fermín López achieves his goal and brings some joy to Flick by being available for that important Champions League match. For now, what is clear is that Barça is breathing hope again even though injuries remain a tough enemy to overcome.
